## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sec-intel-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-d9f78095 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about the OpenAI GPT-5 release and give me a clean summary of what's being said right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its response with live, current web and tech news without processing ad-laden HTML pages. It is especially well-suited for HackerNews and Google News coverage of technology topics, security vulnerabilities, and developer ecosystem news. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when token efficiency matters, since results are pre-pruned for LLM consumption. It is a strong fit for agentic workflows that need real-time news grounding at low cost ($0.01/call) with a simple single-field query input.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query string returns validation error
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream outage results in partial or empty results
- Query yields no matching results for very niche or misspelled terms
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment is not processed
- Network timeout if upstream sources are slow to respond
